Team Mickey - Biggest Loser "No Excuses" 2012 Challenge

[ohMom]

LTS -- yea, midnights suck rotten eggs I go to the outpatient lab during the day with my lab slip, it's a standing order, and they set it up. I tell them what days i'm going to come, and then I just go to the ER and they call the lab tech for me. it took a sit-down with them to get it figured out, but they were really cooperative. when i tested initially i ended up doing 20 midnights for 2 'high' results, apparently my levels change alot. I just pray this time around it doesn't take as many

i'm here reading and procrastinating working on this big hot mess of a pile of papers that have built up on my computer desk

Just Another Magic Monday QOTD: Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, It’s Off to Lose Weight We Go! Happy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Sleepy, and Sneezy – which Dwarf are you feeling like today and why?

I am feeling sleepy right now. My body just doesn't want to get moving. We are working on school work right now... once that is done I will do my workout and maybe that will help perk me up.

My weight loss last week was a big 0. I know its not a big deal, at least I didn't gain... but being only 3 weeks in and having a lot to lose I always think it should take a little bit before I have a no loss week. Oh, well... I did my exercise last week, drank tons of water, and ate on plan....for the most part. I did have one day where I went a little over...but not by a whole lot (maybe 200 calories). So I am believing for a good loss this week...or at least any loss

 

[Disneywedding2010]

QOTD: I'm feeling Sleepy.. Well, not so much sleepy but unmotivated/blah feeling. I tossed and turned most of the night. I don't think I fell asleep til around 5am. Then I woke up really late. I need to get some laundry folded while Alan is at Sam's Club picking up a few things. I also need to take out a pound of hamburger for dinner. Then I'm going to do some meal making for the next week or so. I found an awesome egg muffin meal thingy on Sparkpeople. I'm going to make a few dozen and freeze most of them.

LTS --I love the way you described your meal planning. I print off a new meal plan sheet for each week. I have spots on it for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I feel out each spot. Like you said sometimes it just doesn't get followed because things come up. I do it more so though for a) have an idea of how many calories i'll eat in a given day, b) it will keep us from eating out so much, c) I don't have the stress of every day trying to figure out dinner. I contribute meal planning to helping me lose these 14 pounds I've lost so far. Yeah, it can be tedious but it helps.

I sit down every Sunday afternoon and make out a meal plan and exercise plan. However this month I did things differently. I sat down at the end of December and made a meal plan out for the entire month. I inventoried my pantry to figure out what we had and what needed to be bought after I made my 30 day meal plan. Then I did a massive grocery trip to make sure we had everything for all the meals. Alan is at Sam's right now picking up things like bread, apple juice, lunch meat, cereal, stuff that we run out of fairly quickly.

I'm also going to try to start doing batch cooking every Sunday for breakfast. I'll either do muffins, the egg muffin tin thingies, banana bread, or something to that liking. I'm still in the figuring out phase. I've been looking at recipes on Sparkpeople to help me get ideas.

Just Another Magic Monday QOTD: Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, It’s Off to Lose Weight We Go! Happy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Sleepy, and Sneezy – which Dwarf are you feeling like today and why?

I am definitely Sleepy. I woke up when the 3rd alarm went off at 8:15 AM and by 9:15 I was asleep again. I didn't wake up until 1:15 PM.

Jude! So good to hear from you again. You've received some great menu planning ideas. I know my version of Excel has some good forms you can use. There is at least 1 specific for menu planning and others you could probably tweak.

Love your workout plan!

Hi Lisa! for the Tink!

on your weight loss!

What would happen if you just quietly packed a lunch bag of food for snacks and maybe a healthy meal option "just in case" and took it with you when you left the house to go to something like this? Sometimes I prefer to ask forgiveness rather than permission

In the chaos of the morning running around to make it out of the house only 20 minutes behind schedule, I did grab a can of GF soup. I didn't end up eating it, but probably should have. I need some carbs and ended up using ice cream to fulfill that need.

I just pray this time around it doesn't take as many

P & PD coming your way!

My weight loss last week was a big 0. I know its not a big deal, at least I didn't gain... but being only 3 weeks in and having a lot to lose I always think it should take a little bit before I have a no loss week. Oh, well...

So I am believing for a good loss this week...or at least any loss

for the scale. Remember that your body is changing and you could be swapping fat for muscle.

I'm also going to try to start doing batch cooking every Sunday for breakfast. I'll either do muffins, the egg muffin tin thingies, banana bread, or something to that liking. I'm still in the figuring out phase. I've been looking at recipes on Sparkpeople to help me get ideas.

Great ideas!

 

[cclovesdis]

I apologize for not being on here more often. The Dis has been really slow lately.

Yesterday ended up being OP except for the ice cream I ate. Saturday was good and I haven't eaten anything yet today . I am just not hungry. I can't figure out why either. I will eat dinner though. It is leftover night. I'm not sure if I'll have beef stew or pasta. We had the beef stew last night and I thought the beef was pretty fatty. I will probably have some pasta and the beef from that meal. The meatballs were pretty healthy too. My parents and I ate the pasta at a different time and they had wheat pasta so I can only eat whatever meat is in my leftover container. Well, unless they didn't cross-containaminate. (sp?)

I did shovel for about 10 minutes today. I was exhausted after that. I am truly Sleep today. Love this question Maria! I couldn't believe I needed a 4 hour nap after sleeping about 11 hours. I left a message with my doctor's secretary just in case, but I'm guessing it had more to do with being out all day yesterday, which included 4 hours in the car.

I should be back on later.

Sending more your way Melinda!

 

[cclovesdis]

I did my WATP this morning and had a cup of coffee with Truvia and Low Fat Coffee Mate. It wasn't as amazing as my usual coffee but it wasn't bad and by making the switch I cut:
100 calories
24g sugar
4 g fat
16 carbs

In just ONE cup of coffee.

is right! WOW! Those are some serious differences!

 

[pjstevens]

I was doing so good checking in daily and posting and school started back up and I feel off the band wagon. In addition to that, I GAINED three pounds this week. Sorry Mickey team for letting you down. I blame hubby, he bake a caramel apple cake (well it's an apple cake with caramel on top) and I enjoyed it a little too much. Plus I think it's about that time so I'm usually up a little then too.

I started running this am though. I've been at the Y five or six days a week for some time, but I haven't been running (and I use to run/walk). Hoping to get back to Disney for next marathon and need to get my butt moving. I love the C25K program and figured I start over at the beginning since I haven't run since May. Well my app was a bit confused and thought it was week two day two so I jumped right in and I survived. I was a bit impressed that I could do it. And I'm much faster than I was. Hoping I can work this through and build up some endurance to get faster overall.

I'm putting EVERYTHING into my fitness pal today and really really trying to stay on track to get these wicked pounds OFF!

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Sat QOTD : Native Texan here! BBQ, steaks and Tex Mex are predominant. Here in Houston we also have a lot of Gulf Coast seafood. As a very international city we also have Thai, Mediterranean,Greek, Chinese, Japanese, South American, German - I can keep going ... if you want. We even have a New York Bagel shop - not a chain.

I could eat Tex Mex 24/7, but I don't think I would like the results Sounds like a great mix!

QOTD: Born in NY though we lived in MA at the time. Moved to NC when I was a baby and then moved back to MA in 79 and been here since! Parents and sister are back in NC though.

NE Clam Chowder is what are known for most! LOVE it! I should try and make it in my crock pot again! When I buy it I try and get the Progresso light version!

Are you making Chowder for the Big Game? It is yummy, isn't it?!

Originally from NJ, transplanted to CA, CT, HI, GA, then back to CT.

I couldn't tell you what regional food there is other then Hawaii. I've never seen so much spam and rice in my life!! I would never buy it but spam was everywhere!

I bet the spam was a big shock. I know it is a Hawaiian delicacy, it's just hard for me to wrap my mind around

I guess it depends who wins today.... If the Giants win it

Oh boy, looks like you're goin' all out!

Thanks for the reminder that it is time to start thinking of a plan for the big game. I usually try to limit the chips and dips and emphasize the veggie tray. I've tried skipping the treats but that doesn't work for me -- eat too much other stuff before succumbing to the treats anyway.

I'm thinking about veggies, but honestly, I'm the only one who will eat them -- then again, I decided I'm worth it! If I want a veggie tray, I'm going to have one

I have to share my accomplishment from yesterday. While I call myself a scrapbooker, I am really more of a "collector of scrapbooking stuff". I love to buy it, and then I put it on my shelves and admire it and hope to use it someday. I actually don't work on pages as often as I really should, and it is usually because I am just wasting time doing stupid stuff. So this may not seem like a big deal to some but. . .
I FINISHED MY FIRST DISNEY TRIP ALBUM!

Congratulations! That seems like a huge accomplishment to me!

This year could be especially fun as both of my favorite teams are still in it! I grew up in CT, where it's allowed to love both the Patriots and the Giants (just not the Patriots and the Jets - of course!), and I'm giddy at the thought of them playing in the SB again.

And who will you be rooting for? Could be a trick question, you might want to take the 5th!

I have all the table services booked which I didn't even realize I had done. I was on the phone talking with bestie and went to get on the dining website and was pleasantly surprised when it was already completed . My guess is I did it around the time we were doing all the moving stuff and I had completely forgotten.

Our table services are:

Cap'n Jacks at DTD (bestie's fave)
Mama Melrose at HS
Ohanas (DROOOL)
Rainforest Cafe (at AK)
Maya Grill (at Coronado Springs)
Tony's (MK)
Planet Hollywood

Sounds wonderful -- I'm sure you will find lots of healthy options!

OMG! I am so pissed off. DD16 went and asked DH to make popcorn for snack. First of all he isn't feeling well and can barely walk so she shouldn't be asking him for anything and 2nd she didn't ask me first, which she should have done (and she and DH both know that). And I would have told her NO! Popcorn is one of my huge weaknesses and I am not having a good day so it was the last thing that I need to be smelling in my house. I didn't realize what was going on until too late. And in addition I was in the process of making roasted beans and going to make a salad. Now my entire kitchen smells like a popcorn popper and I don't want to go in there. My sb room is the "formal Dining room" so right by the kitchen. I have shut the door and I banished the kids to the other side of the house to eat it. There are some compromises that have to be made and I do make A LOT of them by cooking things that they like that are not on plan for me. This was past my limit.

Some days are just like this. It's ok, I won't even post the popcorn-eating smilie

Not doing too well eating or exercising today. Plan to do some yoga, lift some weights and do some crunches--but later. Still need to plan dinner, but DS2 won't be home so not feeling like doing it. Sure DS1 and DH will want something though!

It's ok, every day will not be stellar, but most days are good enough

WOOHOO!!!!!

I just got our June 2010 album kitted, I hope to start assembling pages tomorrow.

Great job!

Hi everyone.
I'm new to team Mickey - I'm not sure I'll be able to get through all the posts! But I'll keep up from today forward....

Jude -- awesome to see you here!

Awesome work on the C25K! Keep it up! You were able to just jump right back in. Thats great!

 

[myweegirls]

And who will you be rooting for? Could be a trick question, you might want to take the 5th!

Oh, man, it's an awesome problem to have! The last time I pulled a bit more for the Patriots because of the potential for the undefeated season. And the Giants won. I feel like I should pull a bit more for the Patriots because they didn't win the last time, but I honestly can't lose - love both teams!

I got home midday from my meeting and actually stuck to my workout plan! Let Jillian Michaels beat up on me for half an hour and then did another half hour on the bike. Tonight is the wine dinner, so I really wanted to get that workout in!

I also watched points like crazy, but I'm not starving. I had a banana and a clementine this morning. For lunch I had a can of Progresso Light Vegetable Soup with Barley (3 points!), a banana, and an apple. And I've already hit my water target for the day. I like heading into this dinner with so many points left for the day; I just hope it's not terrible timing for the weigh-in tomorrow!

XO

[tigger813]

Maria- No didn't make chowder for the game. We made homemade Chinese food. Maybe we will do it for the Super Bowl if I can find a good recipe. I did one in the crockpot one time that was great and then couldn't find the recipe again. I just got a new little crock pot cook book that I think had Clam chowder in it.

Was really bad yesterday and today. Didn't exercise. Just laid on the couch with Izzie and watched Harry Potter and played games. She woke up with a nasty cough so I kept her home. There are so many bugs going around that I wanted to give her a quiet day. Of course, she just had a nasty bloody nose.

I gotta get up early tomorrow and workout and then go to work from 9-2 and then give a co-worker's mom a massage tomorrow night. Ash is getting ready for basketball now. She got a great new haircut yesterday so hopefully it will stay out of her face!

I think I just need a kick in the pants to get me motivated. I did have a loss last week but the weekend got me again!

Gotta get Ash's water ready for basketball!

Just Another Magic Monday QOTD: Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, It’s Off to Lose Weight We Go! Happy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Sleepy, and Sneezy – which Dwarf are you feeling like today and why?

Funny to say, bur - Sneezy!! Now if I could just find a way to be allergic to carbs...

IYou have to just commit to sitting down and making a plan and the first time will take longer than it will after you have it organized. What I suggest is that you start by making a list of ALL the meals that you usually make-- anything and everything that your family will eat. Obviously you want to focus on the healthy stuff but you can also add in the not so healthy. Then I took my list and separated it by protein type-- Beef, chicken and pork for us (we don't eat seafood). You can also further break it down into prep type/amount of time it takes to cook. Then get a calendar-- I make my own in World just by making a Table with 7 blocks across and 4 blocks down, but you have to see what works for you. You can also search for free printable calenders, buy a calender or look for free menu planning calenders.

Start by putting the kids activities in, all meetings etc so you can see what block of time you have to cook and eat. Then look at your Master list and see what you can make that will fit into that schedule and write it down for that day. I try to alternate between beef and chicken because my family doesn't like chicken so much so they would revolt if we had to several days in a row. Then you can add in your plan for Breakfast, lunch and snacks. I find it easiest to figure out dinner first since it involves the whole family. Around here Breakfast, lunch and snacks are all done on our own. I don't actually write those down for myself any more but when I did WW points I had everything planned out so I knew I was going to be within my points for the day. Because I usually have a pretty good idea of our schedules several weeks out I try to plan for a minimum of 2 weeks at a time and sometimes have even gone as far as planning for 2 months at a time.

I keep a list of "emergency meals" that I don't include on the plan most of the time because they usually end up getting thrown in anyway! Things like Spaghetti, hamburgers, quick and easy soups, salad, pizza-- the things that my family can throw together without any prior planning. Very helpful when the day ends up not as planned or you forgot to thaw the meat or buy the ingredients. Once you have your plan the most important thing is to BE FLEXIBLE! Be willing to swap out something for a different day because sometimes it just isn't possible to stick with what you planned. At this point I actually don't even put a date on my plan. I put it in the order that I like and try to stick with it but if we skip a planned day by having an emergency meal or going out then I can just pick right back up the next day, or I can switch one meal out for another if I feel like it.

Here is a link to earlier in the thread when I posted my meal plans: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=43691441&postcount=645 We are just now at the end of that plan and I have 2 meals planned for this week and want to sit down and make a plan for the next month.

Wow!! That is a terrific way for me to start. Hopefully next week I'll be able to post about my success with it. Thank you sooo much!!

Lisah0711 I hope your runs go well this week and there is no pain or anything. Maybe even wrap the ribs with an ace bandage for support. Or wear some compression type clothing. to a great run with no pain!!

Lisa, you are going to rock the Tink!! I wish Jen and I were there to cheer you on but we'll be with you in spirit (and just a little bit of jealousy). I hope you have a blast and you'll be wearing that medal proudly!!

More great ideas. Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions!!

As for the food specialties, I'm in upstate NY and boy, we love our wings and beer. I'm partial to crispy wings (no mushy ones for me), as hot as I can stand them. Yum! While not exactly the same, we use a low fat version of the wings for our football parties: Add 1 package of boneless chicken, a jar of Frank's Hot Sauce and a few splashes of super-hot sauce to a crockpot and cook on low for 10 hours. After 10 hours, shred chicken with a fork and mix everything together again. Serve on crackers, melba toast or French bread (ummm, French bread may not be too WW friendly! LOL).

This sounds really good! I don't drink beer, but I have really been set on making wings for dinner one night.

 

[cclovesdis]

I just got off the phone with my doctor and he highly doubts that the meds are making me sleep that much. I mentioned how I don't have any caffeine in my diet and you should have heard the sound he made. I guess I better start having some caffeine in my diet.

I don't drink coffee, but I love tea. I will start adding a cup to my morning routine. Someone else suggested that I try different things to keep me from napping. One of her ideas: exercise. I'm laughing because I require much less sleep (aka no napping) when I exercise. I even mentioned that to my doctor. I definitely need to add exercising back into my routine.

My goals for tomorrow are:
- wake up at the first alarm.
- have a nap-free day.
- exercise for 30 minutes.

Have a great day tomorrow everyone!

You still have time to submit Healthy Habits points!

Thanks, CC! Just practice tonight! izzie is still coughing. Temp is up a bit but no fever. She is quite stuffy!

Found some clam chowder recipes so I just need to buy the ingredients over the next week.

I was definitely SLEEPY (really, LAZY) today!

Time for Jeopardy!!!!

Hello Team Mickey!

Here we celebrate our progress and recognize our superstars.

Reminders:
-after 3 weeks of no reporting, you are dropped from the challenge & can re-start at any time, though
-if anybody knows they will miss weighing in, just PM and let me know and you'll be marked excused


First some stats

MAINTAINERS:
(staying within 2 lbs of their maintain weight is successfully maintaining!)
# of Maintainers Reporting In & Successfully Maintaining: 0

LOSERS:
Current Participants-------------81!
not reporting in for 1 week-----3
not reporting in for 2 weeks----12

Biggest Loser Fall Challenge Week 3!
This week’s group loss = 36.9 pounds!
Average percentage of weight lost 0.38 %
Total group weight loss so far 222.7 pounds!

AWESOME!

Retention Rate (compared to the 72 participants we had sign up for our start week on January 1st)
67% (this includes the Losers, Maintainers and Excused people!). Let's keep sending those weights people!


Before the weekly superstar list comes the disclaimer. I am human and I make mistakes. If you have any questions please contact me. For your reference this is the magic percentage of weight lost formula - weight loss for the week divided by weight for last week times 100, that gives us the percentage. Now let me test that with my numbers for week 1, click, click, click goes the calculator. Yes, that agrees with the percentage on the magic spreadsheet. (btw if its been more than 1 week between weigh-ins, then the % loss is divided by the number of weeks, to keep everybody on the same basis)

Now let's get to the good stuff. Who were our superstars of week 3?

The WISH Biggest Loser Spring Challenge Team Mickey Week 3 Superstars!!

NOW FOR THOSE OF US WHO SET A GOAL FOR THE CHALLENGE!!!

NOTE: This list includes participants who have reported in within the last 3 weeks, once someone misses 3 weigh-ins they are dropped from this report.

How this works: You set your goal for what you want to lose in the challenge. Then I calculate your weight loss in the challenge divided by your goal to get a % to goal.

Anybody can change their goal at anytime (or add a goal) – all you have to do is send me a PM.

Since the goals are an individual thing, the list is just in alphabetical order to make it easier for everybody to find their own name. If there are any questions or suggestions please let me know.

We have done 3 out of 21 weeks, so the challenge is 14% complete.

I find everybody on the list an inspiration and everybody who participates in this challenge is an inspiration in and of themselves. Whether you post, lurk or just pm your weight and check results on Tuesdays, you have made a commitment to yourself. And that is the biggest inspiration of all!BY Octoberbride03

hey guys, still having a tough time :/ I have managed to stay within my calories, but not go to the gym. I pinched a nerve last week ( I think) and it is causing my terrible neck/lower back part of my head pain Usually after a few days of stretching or massage it goes away and it just isn't this time It feels like an electric shock going form my neck to the back of my head! Happens like every few seconds! OUCH!

ANY tips about this?
